WorldView Episode 19: Independence Day
Happy July Fourth! In honor of the national holiday, WorldView episode nineteen contains a 200-year timeline of American classical music—from 1770 to 1970. Rather than focus on one specific composer in this week’s post, I’ve included three artists featured in the episode. Have a safe and happy holiday!
